Classroom Countdown Time

Handy to have the remote when I don't want to use the countdown time.

For Macro work, astrophotography, time lapse, countdown, studio and outdoor work

I've only used this once so far and it did well for my uses. I have a laptop just out of camera range, as a confidence monitor, then feed those images to the control board. This allows me to see the slides on stage, while the director can show them, or not, any time they are needed during the show. This allows me to be in control of when to show the next slide. What I don't particularly like about this is how large it is. I understand that when you are teaching live, it allows you to see the countdown timer easily. On TV, I'd rather have something which can essentially be hidden in my hand and not be as obvious on screen. Overall, well built. The on-off and controls to change the countdown timer ls are a bit small and fiddly. I understand you don't want to hit them while presenting, but they are tiny. All of these are minor issues, and more for the manufacturer, as they design the next version. Overall, it is a solid performer and excels at the things you need...clicking to the next slide and seeing how much time you have left in your presentation.

Now I can take remote Pictures, I was tired of waiting for countdown timer pics...

Fits perfectly in the classroom.

I use permanent parkers all the time on craft projects, and things in my classroom. This pack has a wide variety of colors and covers all of my needs.

Bought this cable to get HDMI across a classroom through the ceiling. Worked the first time I plugged it in. Really like these heavy-duty Kramer HDMI cables, especially with the lock system.

I have this tripod that I use for my personal use. When I needed one for the classroom I had a hard time justifying the expense. However, my students (K8) have a very hard time being still when video taping. I purchased a cheepo@originally. It was definitely cheap and only held up (as in didn't fall apart) for a month of occasional use. It never worked adequately. I bit the bullet and purchased this one and it works great! Well worth the $ and sorry I didn't go with it from the get go!

We use these mics for our HS classroom - they are perfect for this use with students. The wind screen is so good though at time it blocks out the sound a little too much. We love them for class and at this price point the can't be beat.
